It's soft white, which is 2700k. you can tell by the color. The red/orange lights are for flowering and the really bright white for veg. The following rule applies with mh/hps. I think that lamp would be good though. I would place one of those reflectors directly above the plant about 2 inches with a fan of course.

My plant looks like it is diying

Looks light your over watering it. Yes, the lights you have will work,but 6500k is more ideal for thick vegative growth. Make sure you only water when the top crusts over and the itself feels light.

You should wait at least 3 days then check it. As the plant grows it will suck up water faster. What size pot is it in? Is that a coffee can?

Will you be able to transplant it out of that can and into a bigger one within a week or 2, because you will need to transplant soon.

The pot is great, but he soil is no good unless you plan on not adding any nutes, because the soil contains slow realease. The slow realese makes it harder to add nutes later when they need it. Alos, your plant is small and is at risk of nute burm with slow realease.


I also attached a picture of one of my babies with nute burn from slow realease.

That is true. I got a little bit of nut burn on one of my leaves. But it was only on the tip of one leaf and no were else

Hve you used that soil yet? If not return it and get organic soil that says feed after 2 weeks of planting. This would be ideal.
